With a remote, the thieves unlock the car then get it cranked with the push-button starter, which requires the remote. It only takes seconds for them to get away with a new car.

The dealership has only one entrance, which now is blocked after the store is closed.

The Tupelo Police Department has been working on the case of the stolen cars, and Navarre said anybody with information should call either the TPD or the dealership. Navarre said he isn’t aware that any other Tupelo dealerships have been targeted by thieves recently.

No other attempts have been made to steal other vehicles at Carlock, including more expensive trucks and SUVs.
